The reminisce of Tropical Storm Fay are over head right now and making flying a bitch.

Hurricane Gustav looks like it will ride just south of Cuba, this means that the land/buildings won't increase friction and obstruct the wind. It also means it will absorb more tropical moisture from the water and grow. It will be a respectable storm, unlike Fay. As such I will be filling my gas tanks in both vehicles today/tomorrow and recommend anyone else in the south to do the same because as soon as they catch wind that all the major gas points along the gulf will be shutting down, the prices will be going up again. Probably in about two days.

Currently, some of the computer models are pointing it straight for New Orleans, but this will NOT be advertised this early. Particularly not for this area. That's the media for you...
